Thursday

At the Chattanooga Choo-Choo

We're in Tennessee now, just got done with a super twisty TT that didn't go so well. i went full gas but got caught by my 2 minute man, Grajales on the Nav's. yeah, not good for the head.

it was pretty warm and steamy, and a weather front was threatening to dump on us, not good prospects when there's some fast s-turn decents in several sections. i fortunately got in ahead of that, but lightning just struck the parking lot right next to our team car...i'm glad i'm not out there with the mechanics right now.

the Chattanooga Choo-Choo is the old railway depot here in town, and now it's converted into a holiday inn. the view out the window is an old rail car. kinda unique.

Ouchie! That must have been a nasty course because the range of finishing times was large.

Even though you don't feel like you did well, there were only a handful of domestic riders that placed before you.

Keep your head up and the pedal to the metal, this isn't over yet!

GoBenGo! Good job getting another sixth place finish today. Chase and I are so proud of you.

Did you all see Ben's rockstar-sexy photo in the special edition of ROAD magazines TOC issue? I'm going to pin it up on my wall like when I was a teenager.
